WE ARE MISUNDERSTOOD.

We clip the following from one of
our religious exchanges
eff all men are going to be saved,
why preach conversion. 1t is not re-
quired in order to be saved on the the
DRY of Universalism. The fact is, this
theory is too weak in its logic to re-
form men. To urge them to seek re-
newal of heart, is clear beyond the
range of the system"
1t seems strange, that in this So call
ed enlightened age, such an absurd view
of our teachings should be entertained
by sensible men. We here present the
second article of our confession of faith,
which reads as follows:
eve believe that there is one God,
whose nature is love, revealed in one
Lord Jesus Christ, by one Holy Spirit
Of Grace, who will finally restore the
whole family of mankind to holiness
and happiness"
This surely does not teach that man
kind are to be saved without CONVEX
sion-being turned away from the love
and practice of sin. Indeed, there can
be no observation-disclosures from sin,
without conversion. We have often
tried to emphasize this vital truth, in
the pulpit, and in this paper. Universal
salvation, or restoration, embraces uni
versal repentance, and universal con-
version and obedience. No one can
ever be saved in sin. So long as mon
are sinners, just so long are they un-
saved, and miserable, to the same ex-
tent that they are sinners.
To speak Of being saved in sin, would
be as absurd, as to expect to have health
while some fearful disease was preying
upon the system. We differ from other
churches, in believing that the means
of grace extend beyond the grave-that
there, as here, God is still the sinners
friend. That if the soul is valuable
here, it is equally so hereafter, and that
as God is the same, and never changes,
what he loves here he will continue to
love hereafter and upon this blessed
assurance, we can resignedly rest all
our hopes for ourselves and all man
kind being well persuaded, that in
finite love can never consign to infinite
torment niversaist Herald.

Earth hath no sorrow which heaven cannot
heal"
Andbecause Christ was God like the
express image of Gods personal char
acter-because Christ and the Father
were one in spirit, one in purpose-one
in plan-and one in the work Of human
redemption from sin and sorrow, Christ
voluntarily undertook to lead his breth
rem away from error, sin, and sorrow,
up to likeness of the "Holy Spirit Of
grace )" though he understood FROM
the beginning that it would be at tie
sacrifice of all earthly riches and posi-
ton, and at last of even life itself.
Thus God himself, in his infinite love
to his human children, in order to lead
them through the infancy of human
experience, and the errors, temptations,
and sins, incident to their lack of knowl-
edge and need of discipline, appointed
his highest, and noblest, and most I'M
selfish and God-like human child to be
the ''head over all things to the church, u
in order to raise them up to himself;
and endowed him with all power in
heaven and in earth, necessary to the
accomplishment of the work which the
Father appointed him to fulfill.

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS IN ENG
LAND,

The genius of the age is opposed to
ecclesiastical monopoly and to priestly
claims. A process of cleavage is going
on, which it is useless to resist. Pater-
nal governments, despotic rulers, and
militant churchmen in former times
expended much ingenuity and effort in
erecting artificial buttresses and barri-
ers within which it is futile to expect
that modern intelligence and devout.
ness will submit to be confined. The
old and selfish cry of 'church in dan
ger' has been raised so often, and the
pulpit drum ecclesiastic" has been
beaten with such vigor, that men have
come to estimate these at their true
worth. Graver struggles are at hand
not over the redress of such grievances
as remain, but concerning vital priuci-
pies as to the character of Christ's
kingdom upon earth; and as to the
rights, privileges and duties of its sub
jects. The accidents of the conflict
will be swept aside with impatient dis
dain, and its essentials will be insisted
on. Thoughtful and patriotic men are
becoming weary and angry that the
time of the legislature is occupied every
session with purposeless wrangling over
measures that relate to church patron
age, to glebe lands, to burial grounds,
to the amendment of discipline, to
church sites, to pluralities, to mean
ingless oaths, to ecclesiastical assess
ments, and to variety Of other mat
tiers that practically lead to nothing, or
that only make confusion worse con-
founded" They are weary also and in
dignant with the scandals that perpet-
ually arise, with the solemn mockery
of appointing bishops, with the nepo-
tism of high officials, with the inordi-
nate payment of some of the clergy and
the inadequate stipends of many more;
with the waste, the malversation and
notorious inefliciency that prevail, and
with the rampant party Toryism of the
great body of the clergy at the last two
general elections. All these things are
entailing their sure Nemesis; and in
addition, the old pretence is exploded
that the Church of England is the
church of the people, especially in the |
rural districts. No higher testimony OF |
this need be quoted than that of DIR.
Ryle, the bishop of Liverpool, at the
last Church Congress: "The church is
not popular in the rural parishes of
England. It's services are not valued.
The clergyman is not regarded as the
best and safest guide to heaven. The
fountain of spiritual life is thought to
be the teaching of the NonconfOrmist
minister. The parish clergyman is,
perhaps, respected as a kind, good nat
ured sort Of man; but if a Parliament
tary election takes place, the political
side, which is thought to be his side, or
the church side, is only supported by
small minority of the voting parishiOn-
ers. If this is not weakness, L do not
know what is. But | am afraid this is
the condition Of an immense number of
English rural parishes, and | do not be

LITTLE DEVILS IN THE AIR.

Who and what was Paracelsus Is it
real name or the assumed name of
a real parsonage =? If assumed, what
does it mean ? If our readers will fol-
low us for little, we will endeavor to
throw some light upon dark, but yet
curiously interesting subject,
''Paracelsus," according to Robert
Browning, Thought, at the age of
twenty, that knowledge was the sum
nam bonu0l, and retired to a seat of
learning to acquire it. But at twenty
eight he was still unsatished, and then
made acquaintance with an italian
poet, who induced him to seek the sum
mum b0nunl, in love. Again he was dis
satisfied and disappointed, and finally
resolved to devote himself 'to know
and to enjoy"
This, it must be confessed, is not
very informing; so let us try another
instructor. Paracelsus," says DIR.
Brewer, sis reported to have kept a
small devil in the pommel of his sword,
and he favored metallic substances for
medicines, while Galen preferred herbs. /"
Here, then, we may gather some light,
for we gain distinct impression Of
medical practitioner upon reformed
methods, with spice of the supernat-
ural. This, in brief, was the character
istie of the real Paracelsus, who was
not quite the same parsonage as the
Paracelsus of Browning. But what of
that ?
Concerning the little devil in the
pommel of the sword, old Burton, who
wrote the Anatomy Of Melancholy
was also exercised. But he thought it
not at all improbable, for, said he 'the
air is not so full of flies in summer as
it is at all times of invisible devils.
They counterfeit suns and moons and
sit on ships masts they cause whirl-
winds of sudden, and tempestuous
storms, which, though our meteorolo-
ogists generally refer to natural causes,
yet am of BOdine's mind, they are
more often caused by those aerial devils
in their several quarters" Cardan's
father, he AYERS, had "aD aerial devil
bound to him for eight and twenty
years." "others wear them in rings"
Why then should not Paraeelsus wear |
one in the pommel of his sword
Why not, indeed, since, as Mr.. Mon

"A Scottish letter writer in the Ar
gondut, of San Francisco, says: "Stirling
Is the dearest old town in the world, and
the castle, rising up gray and beautiful
on the big, precipitous rock that seems
to overlook all Scotland, is the pearl of
castles. The wrath of Mary Stuart went
up the hill with US, for it was at Stirling
that We first met Mary in Scotland. But
she never left us again. She followed
us with her pleading eyes, her pretty
face and her sad, sad story, through all
the chambers of Stirling and down the
east side of Scotland, all over the classic
hills of Edinburgh, up on the hill in the
castle, and down on the plain in Holy
rood, and SO on down to London town,
till We left her sleeping in marble by the
side of her lifelong enemy in stately
Westminster"

JUDAS ISCARIoT.

De Quincy argues, no matter if Jul
das did have selfish motives to urge
him, no matter if his theory Of Christ's
mission was a mistaken one, he can
not properly be called traitor, for his
intention was to advance and not de-
stroy the work of Christ and His apos-
ties. In other words, Judas thought
that some one was needed to take a
bold step just at that time, and he took
it. But when he saw the result of his
deed, and that result just the contrary
to what he had expected. horror and de-
spair took possession of him, and to
escape the stings Of conscience he went
and hanged himself. De Quincey's
apology has never made many converts,
though one would willingly accept any
thing that might reasonably be urged,
so much do we hate to believe that hu-
man nature is so bad as Judas shows it
to have been. The remarkable poem
of Mr.. Story, entitled ga Roman Law
yer in Jerusalem" is much more dra-
matte and forcible treatment of the
question than De Quincey's; the same
general argument is employed, and the
skill of true poet exerted to put Judas
in more favorable light; but the ver-
dict of the Christian world has been
pronounced for all time, and though
the poet may tell us that Judas was
''no vulgar villain, SHINING for reward"
all his poetry and eloquence will not
reverse the verdict.
The character of Judas has ever been
a problem in church history; and it al
ways will remain so, for some minds,
simply because wickedness itself is the
I'insoluble problem. Sin is the one fact
in the universe of which no complete
account can be given it cannot be re-
duced to order, nor comprehended by
simple intelligence. But we increase
the difficulties Of the question by our
fancy that for great crimes there must
be great motives; overlooking the fact
that the most awful sins spring from
the basest impulses. The rewards of
sin are always paltry; the motives of
iniquity furnish no measure of it ; nor
are we sure that motive can ever ade-
quately explain crime. That Judas
should sell his master for thirty pieces
of silver-between fifteen and twenty
dollars is itself one of the most signi-
ficant facts of the betrayal. There is a
tendency to look on Judas as magnif-
cent criminal, simply because his crime
was terrible one; and men either hate
to admit this criminality ,or, admitting it,
they look for what they deem adequate
motives. Far different is the aspect in
in which he appeared to his fellow dis
cples. st. John says, she was thief
and ''stole" the money of the poor. We
need not seek for noble motives to ex-
plain the selling of Christ on the part
of one who censured Mary's prodigal-
ity of love, and calculated the price of
her offering, and came to betray the
Saviour with kiss Providence Jour-

In curious encyclopedia "Collier's
Historical Dictionary" printed in London
in 1869 and 100, the following occurs
concerning Shakespear (spelled thusl
which shows in how much esteem the
bard was held by the men of his own coun.
try century after his time: "Shakespear
(William), born in Stratford-on-Ayon, in
Warwickshire, somewhat famed poet,
but of no great learning, which made him
so much the more admired. His genius
was jocular; but when SO disposed, he
could be very serious. He did SO excel
both in tragedies and comedies, that he
was able to make Heraclitus laugh and
Democritus weep. He had many witty
combats with Ben Jonson, without any
cons derable advantage on either side"
And this is all that is said about him in
